Not my cup of tea - neither the writing, nor the characters.
I guess if you take leave of your logic, then you can enjoy the book, but there are too many unanswered questions. Commissaire Adamsberg simply announces his conclusions or how he wants to proceed, and the reader is left in the dark and cannot follow how he arrives at them. Too many coincidences.
Everyone drinks and smokes during the investigation - I don't think even the French police do that any more. It just adds to the implausibility of it all.
